Celebrating 20 years of Membership - Haute Autorité de Santé

The French Authority for Health (HAS) celebrates 20 years as an Institutional Member of ISQua.

This commitment of the HAS has enabled it, throughout these years, to increase its international network with institutions which share the same objectives in the field of improving the quality and safety of care, to benefit from their experience and to enhance the French point of view in these different fields.

Joint Statement on Patient Safety

The International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua) and the International Hospital Federation (IHF) attended the World Health Organization (WHO) Consultation on Global Patient Safety 2020-2030 in Geneva, Switzerland, from 24th - 26th February 2020.

Quality is made up of interconnecting circles of complex activity; however, we are conditioned to see and think in quality straight lines. What we see depends on what we are prepared to see. Without exploring assumptions, healthcare organizations will be held hostage to indifference to quality failure and will be unable to reach quality improvement potential.

IHF 44th World Hospital Congress

As you may know, the IHF Congress is a unique global forum that brings together leaders of hospitals, health services, and healthcare organizations to discuss key drivers of national and international policy, management, financial trends and solutions. Through this forum multidisciplinary exchange of knowledge, expertise and experiences are facilitated, together with dialogue on best practices in leadership, management and service delivery.

We believe it is a great opportunity for ISQua members to showcase their work to the global healthcare community in both your annual conference and our congress. Perhaps your team can disseminate the information? Your members can submit abstracts under the following sub-themes for a chance to present in a session or poster:

PX Patient Experience Conference

Customers today are more demanding than ever before. They want personalization, immediate resolution of their concerns, and they want to be heard and understood. The same logic applies to the “patient.”

The landscape of healthcare is rapidly shifting to incorporate the best practices in the customer experience discipline that have been tried, tested, and finetuned by many businesses across the globe.

This Patient Experience (PX) event is designed to bring together everyone from Board-level executives to clinical practitioners, clinic owners, scientists and investors.
